Thread: How realistic are your lucid dreams.

Well, most people have different interpretations and feelings in their lucid
dreams. Some people experience their dreams more realistically than others.
And sometimes our own dreams are more realistic at times than other dreams.

but this is my question. When you do experience the most realism in your
dream.Does it feel just like real life as in the way you see now and feel
the same way in a dream at times? Does it feel as if it's actually real life
while in your dream?

my false awakening last night was far more vivid than any of my lucid dreams, it just seemed real life

I've been having FA's almost every morning lately.
Annoying as hell having to get up twice haha

Anyway, on-topic, my dreams range from absolute vividness to fuzzy =/

It depends on how aware I am that I'm dreaming. My normal dreams are usually very realistic but the closer to 100% lucid I am the more surreal things begin to look.

They tend to feel mostly as if I were awake, only my awareness is not quite as sharp. The least I can say is that they're realistic enough for me to remember them with a lot of clarity after awakening.

Since DILD is my most common LD method, it usually depends on how vivid my non-lucid dream is. Though, if I become lucid while the dream is fuzzy, I stare at my hands and, when I look away, it usually makes my LD environment as vivid as waking life.

Whenever I have a vivid lucid I always stop and take the time to look at everything.
What I have noticed is that dreams are more simplistic in detail, for instance grass and trees never look like real grass and trees to me, more like CGI. and often everything has a haze or a glow to it, its hard to explain.
When I look up close at the texture of a wall or the ground, it looks like its been cloned over and over again.
So I guess lucid dreams are more like a computer game to me.
Although false awakenings are unimaginably uber real, its like..fully excepting that your awake while your still in a dream then learning your still dreaming makes everything so real its scary.

same here. Trying to counter act this by doing a nose RC every time I wake up and scotch taped "true" to the cover of my DJ. that way I hope to avoid the effort of having to write my dreams down twice

Oh it generally feels like real life for me.

Same here, sometimes I'm playing with my dreams like they were a physics simulation (mostly with liquids) ^^
